There is an organised process to complete your child’s Occupational Therapy assessment and receiving your report…
Step 1: Self Referral Process
You are able to make a direct self referral to the service by completing the online form.
All referrals are screened by the service for suitability through a free 15 minute phone call.
Step 2: Book Your ‘Initial Consultation’
Accepted referrals by the service will be welcomed to complete a face-to-face Initial Consultation. Please allow up to 1 hour and 30 minutes for your appointment.
The purpose of the Initial Consultation is to begin the assessment process. You will be given a selection of forms to complete and return at your Assessment Day appointment.

The Therapy Room in Aylesbury has been specifically designed to be a calm, relaxed and distraction free zone. This will enable all children to perform their assessments to the best of their abilities.
In exceptional circumstances, it may be possible for both these appointments to take place at an alternative location, for example, the child’s home or school. This will be discussed at the referral stage.
Travel is included to locations within 50 miles of the Therapy Room in Aylesbury.
For children who may struggle with the demands of standardised assessments, it will be possible to conduct these through play activities and observations instead.
